More difficult than meets the eye!
Easy enough to work out theoretical sizes from charts but you also have to take into account stuff like the fact that as a male you’re a different shape.
Not just talking about hip/waist ration & broad shoulders but also about stuff like the fact we have longer bodies.
Recognise that you’ll probably be at least one size larger above the waist than below it for a start.
I actually go a size up from my theoretical size for tops anyway – generally means the top’s longer as well as bigger.
As for shoes – buy sandals first off.
They’re a lot more flexible.
I’m a size 9 and could get into a 7 easily enough,,
